Episode 13: Strength Preparation with Donnie Thompson

Donnie “SuperD” Thompson is a huge influence in the fitness world. His roots are in professional football and power lifting. Donnie spent 6 seasons in the Arena Football League from 1988-1993. Known as “Mr.3000” for being the first person to total 3000 lbs. in a Powerlifting meet. Donnie also has 8-all time world records in professional Powerlifting.

Now Donnie spends his time traveling around the world teaching people his Strength Performance Therapy methods. Including body tempering which include the use of solid steel rollers, affectionately named “the -x-wife”, to prepare the body for training and for recovery. In addition to using “the x-wife” for body tempering Donnie has developed several other products including the Thompson Fat Bell, Fat Pad, and Fat bar. If you don’t want to make your own “x-wife” (details can be found here), Chris Duffin has developed the Geisha Body Tempering Roller, which can be purchased, on his site Kabuki Strength Store.
